华北南缘中元古代地层归属及大地构造演化：来自碎屑锆石U- Pb年代学和锆石微量元素的证据

华北板块南缘中元古代沉积地层的时代归属以及区域古地理格局和构造演化等是近年来地质界探讨的热点问题。本文对豫西鲁山下汤地区的汝阳群云梦山组和黄连垛组进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和锆石微量元素研究,获得云梦山组年龄最小(年轻)的一批碎屑锆石年龄加权平均值为1658±63Ma,从而限定了汝阳群最早沉积年龄不早于1700Ma。结合洛峪群(上覆于汝阳群)上部洛峪口组近年的年代学标定(1611～1638Ma),将汝阳群—洛峪群的形成年代限定为1700～1600Ma,即中元古代长城纪的中晚期,对应于国际地质年表的固结纪。云梦山组与黄连垛组中碎屑锆石~(207)Pb/~(206)Pb年龄范围为1644～3179Ma,呈现1850Ma、2100Ma、2300Ma、2500Ma、2670Ma和2900Ma六个年龄峰值,对应于华北克拉通中太古代-古元古代重要的地质事件。云梦山组与黄连垛组分别以1850Ma峰值年龄段与2500Ma峰值年龄段的地质体为主要的物源区。根据云梦山组沉积组合性质及形成背景、熊耳群火山岩及其对应锆石的地球化学特征、熊耳群沉积岩夹层的沉积特征和盆地构造属性,综合分析认为熊耳群及其上覆的汝阳群形成于与"岛弧"共生的弧后盆地地区。并且根据云梦山组"同沉积锆石"具"岛弧"地球化学特征,暗示云梦山组沉积时期附近的岛弧火山仍在持续活动中。     

内蒙古商都地区白云鄂博群尖山组碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学和Hf同位素研究:对华北克拉通西部陆块北缘前寒武纪地壳演化的制约

华北克拉通前寒武纪地壳生长过程是地质学的研究热点。本文对华北克拉通西部陆块北缘的白云鄂博群尖山组进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb定年和Hf同位素分析,并在此基础上对尖山组的沉积时限、物源及西部陆块北缘的前寒武纪地壳生长过程进行了探讨。样品TM33中碎屑锆石年龄主要集中在1872～2100Ma (n=64),并有～1960Ma的主年龄峰值和～2000Ma的次年龄峰值,Hf同位素分析结果显示锆石的εHf(t)值在-2.6～7.9之间(除1个测点为-17.6),Hf同位素二阶段模式年龄(tDM2)变化范围在2240～4386Ma之间。样品Z1724中碎屑锆石年龄分布于1784～2200Ma(n=44),并有～1965Ma的主年龄峰值和～2080Ma次年龄峰值。谐和线上最年轻一组锆石的加权平均年龄为1794±73Ma(n=2),εHf(t)在-5.4～3.2之间,Hf同位素二阶段模式年龄(tDM2)变化范围在2584～3203Ma之间。基于以上数据,结合侵入白云鄂博群底部1670Ma的辉长岩以及白云鄂博群底部全岩207Pb-206Pb等时线年龄为1649Ma的沉积碳酸盐岩,尖山组的沉积时间被限定在1800～1650Ma。尖山组的物源主要来自固阳、西乌兰不浪地区新太古代基底以及大青山和卓资地区古元古代晚期孔兹岩带。综合前人对研究区及邻区中新元古代沉积地层中碎屑锆石的Hf同位素研究结果,认为华北克拉通西部陆块北缘可能存在2600～2750Ma、～2500Ma和2000～2100Ma三期主要的地壳生长事件,且最后一次规模可能小于前两次。     

朝鲜平南盆地古元古界-下古生界沉积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱对比及意义

中朝古陆(华北古陆)平南盆地面积~25000km~2,位于朝鲜半岛中部,发育从中元古界到下古生界地层,但经历了低级变质作用(绿片岩相及以下)。变质基底岩石中有一套角闪岩相-麻粒岩相的变质的古元古界地层。本文根据盆地不同时代沉积岩碎屑锆石/变质锆石U-Pb LA-ICP MS年龄数据讨论沉积源区的变化,并对区域演化进行制约。甑山群/杂岩为盆地基底岩系,变质砂岩样品中碎屑锆石出现ca.2500~2100Ma的年龄峰值。另外,36.5亿年的碎屑锆石是朝鲜迄今发现的最古老碎屑锆石;夕线榴片麻岩样品记录了~1850Ma(1859±9Ma)的变质年龄;推测甑山群沉积于ca.2100~1900Ma,变质于1850 Ma。黄海群局限分布于朝鲜半岛中部,碎屑锆石年龄谱显示~1850 Ma的峰值,可见~1250 Ma的年龄,推测对应物源为古元古代基底岩浆岩和变质岩系;结合其上覆直岘群的沉积时代,推测地层沉积于ca.1250~1000Ma。直岘群是平南盆地分布最广的地层之一,底部长峰组样品显示明显的~1850Ma的峰值,而其上第二个和第三个组则显示明显的ca.1400~1600Ma和ca.1000~1200 Ma年龄峰值,~1850 Ma年龄很少;推测直岘群开始沉积时,物源主体是盆地基底岩系,但之后出现大量中元古代物质;推测其沉积时代为ca.1000~900Ma。黄州群有~1850Ma和~2500Ma的峰值,另外,还有较少的ca.1000~1200Ma及1400~1600 Ma年龄,表明沉积物源主体仍是基底岩系,可能有中新元古代沉积岩(黄州群-直岘群)的再沉积。这些沉积岩碎屑锆石年龄峰值与辽东和山东半岛沉积地层相似,并且中新元古代地层中均有大量1000~1200Ma及1400~1600Ma的物质,推测可能来自华北古陆之外,如圣弗朗西斯科克拉通。     

苏鲁超高压造山带南部海州群锆石年龄及其地质意义

厘定大别-苏鲁超高压造山带南缘变质岩带的形成时代和地球化学特征有助于区域地层对比研究和对这一造山带演化过程的深入理解。采用单颗粒锆石U—Pb同位素稀释法和蒸发法定年,获得来自苏鲁地体南部海州群上部云台组的3个云母石英片岩样品的碎屑锆石年龄,且集中于800～740Ma之间。全岩初始εNd（800Ma）值变化在-12．8～-8．8之间,两阶段亏损地幔Nd模式年龄为2．1～2．4Ga。这些特征类似于大别山南部宿松地区副片麻岩,指示较单一的沉积物源。结合区域地层对比资料,碎屑锆石年龄限定了海州群云台组的沉积时代可能为新元古代,晚于740Ma左右。其主要沉积物质源自新元古代岩浆岩,归属于扬子陆块     

扬子西南缘盐边群时代及构造环境: 来自碎屑沉积岩的约束

出露于扬子地块西南缘的盐边群为一套火山-沉积岩系,其深入研究对探讨扬子西缘新元古代构造环境具有重要意义.本文对盐边群中碎屑沉积岩进行了较系统的岩石学、碎屑物质组成和地球化学研究,并从小坪组和乍古组中各选取了1件变质砂岩样品进行锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素分析.变质砂岩主要由棱角状-次棱角状火山岩岩屑、石英和长石矿物碎屑组成.碎屑沉积岩Al2O3/SiO2值为0.12～0.4,K2O/Na2O值范围为0.14 ～9.45(其中板岩K2O/Na2O值多大于1.0,而变质砂岩中多数样品的K2O/Na2O值小于1.0).所有样品具有轻-中等程度的轻重稀土元素分异((La/Yb)N=1.6 ～9.37),多数样品具有明显的负Eu异常.εNd(t)值范围为-1.77～ +5.01.变质砂岩碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄峰值为900～ 910Ma,同时存在少量太古代-古元古代碎屑锆石.小坪组和乍古组变质砂岩中年轻碎屑锆石206pb/238U年龄加权平均值分别为888±8Ma和884±14Ma.碎屑物质组成、地球化学和锆石U-Pb年龄结果共同表明,盐边群碎屑沉积为近源沉积,物源区主要为岛孤中酸性火山岩和花岗岩.结合关刀山岩体(857Ma)和荒田组玄武岩(880～830Ma)研究结果,进一步限定盐边群的时代为880～830Ma,形成于弧后盆地环境,其沉积物源区为华夏地块向扬子地块俯冲过程中,扬子西南缘形成的火山岛孤.     

华北克拉通南缘中-新元古代沉积地层对比研究及其地质意义

华北克拉通南缘新太古代-古元古代变质结晶基底之上不整合覆盖着巨厚的中-新元古代陆源碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩沉积盖层,根据沉积建造特征,将其划分为三个不同的地层分布小区,分别为嵩箕地层小区、渑池-确山地层小区和熊耳山地层小区.嵩箕小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地东北缘,以硅质碎屑岩(砂岩)为主,渑池-确山地层小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地北缘,以硅质碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩(白云岩)过渡相为主,熊耳山地层小区位于熊耳裂谷盆地南缘,以碳酸盐岩为主.本文通过对三个地层小区的沉积地层剖面和岩石学特征进行研究,认为华北南缘从中元古代开始处于河流相-浅海相的沉积环境,从南向北,海水由深变浅.根据地层的岩性、沉积构造及其组合特征,将其划分为低水位、海侵和高水位沉积体系,最大海侵时期为青白口系早期.通过对熊耳山地区的官道口群的岩相学和地球化学分析,并结合其已有的碎屑锆石年龄和另外两个地层小区的五佛山群和汝阳群的碎屑锆石年龄以及它们的地球化学特征,表明三个地层区的沉积地层在中元古代均处于被动大陆边缘环境,而新元古代则可能处于与大陆岛弧相关的沉积盆地,这一结果表明从中元古代到新元古代华北南缘可能受到秦岭造山带早期微陆块俯冲碰撞的影响,由被动大陆边缘向活动大陆边缘过渡的过程.三套地层最年轻的碎屑锆石207 Pb/206Pb年龄基本上在1600Ma左右,从而限定了其最大沉积时代不早于1600Ma.其锆石年龄大多数都分布于古元古代(1700 ～ 2400Ma),太古代的年龄极少,说明其物源区以古元古代的地质体为主,且碎屑锆石年龄峰值为～ 1.93Ga,反映了华北南缘在～1.93Ga发生过重要的构造-热事件,与华北克拉通古元古代中期发生的变质作用时间(～ 1.91Ga)一致.三套沉积地层的碎屑锆石εHf(t)值变化较大(-20～ +6),表明既有新生地壳物质的加入,也有古老地壳物质的再循环.Hf两阶段模式年龄分布于2.3～3.8Ga之间,明显大于其207pb/206pb年龄,大部分锆石的Hf同位素组成集中于2.6Ga和3.0Ga地壳演化线区域内,峰值为2.75Ga,表明2.75Ga左右是华北克拉通南缘重要的陆壳生长期.     

华北克拉通南缘五佛山群沉积时代和物源区分析:碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄和Hf同位素证据

河南嵩山地区位于华北克拉通南缘,其早前寒武纪结晶基底主要由新太古代登封群表壳岩、TTG质片麻岩和古元古代嵩山群石英岩,以及新太古代-古元古代的花岗质岩石组成。五佛山群角度不整合覆盖于登封群和嵩山群之上,主要由石英砂岩组成,夹少量的粉砂质页岩和薄层灰岩,为该地区太古宙-古元古代结晶基底之上分布广泛的第一沉积盖层。探讨其沉积时代和物质来源,对揭示华北克拉通南缘前寒武纪地壳演化过程具有重要意义,并可为华北南缘前寒武纪地层框架的建立和对比提供依据。本文对五佛山群底部马鞍山组两个石英砂岩样品的碎屑锆石进行LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄测定,获得最年轻的207Pb/206Pb年龄分别为(1732±11)Ma和(1655±22)Ma,说明五佛山群形成时代的下限为古元古代晚期,与华北克拉通南缘熊耳群火山-沉积岩系之后的其他沉积盖层年代相当。五佛山群碎屑锆石207Pb/206Pb年龄范围为2816~1655 Ma,主要集中于2100~1800 Ma之间(约占60%),年龄主峰值为(1.93±0.10)Ga,部分年龄分布于2500~2100 Ma之间(约占24%),说明其沉积物质主要来源于古元古代的地质体,相比华北克拉通其他地区同时代的沉积地层碎屑锆石年代学研究结果,本区来自太古宙的物源极少。五佛山群马鞍山组碎屑锆石的U-Pb年龄反映了嵩山地区在1.93 Ga左右发生过重要的构造-热事件,与华北克拉通古元古代中期发生的变质作用时间(约1.91 Ga)一致。碎屑锆石εHf(t)值为–14.3~4.6,Hf的两阶段模式年龄分布于2363~3672 Ma之间,明显大于其207Pb/206Pb年龄,大部分锆石的Hf同位素组成集中于2.50 Ga和2.80 Ga地壳演化线区域内,揭示了新太古代为华北克拉通南缘重要的陆壳生长期。     

豫西汝阳群、洛峪群碎屑锆石年代学特征及其地质意义

华北克拉通南缘"豫陕裂陷槽"发育大量中—新元古代地层,其中汝阳群和洛峪群分布于渑池-确山地层小区,其形成时代一直存有争议。本文针对汝阳群和洛峪群沉积岩进行了系统的碎屑锆石年代学研究工作,结合地层发育和岩石组合分析,为建立华北克拉通南缘中—新元古代地层框架提供依据。根据云梦山组下部碎屑锆石中获得年轻锆石年龄平均值1723.6Ma,结合前人从洛峪群凝灰岩夹层中获得的年代学资料(1611±8Ma、1640±16 Ma、1638±9Ma、1634±10 Ma),将汝阳群-洛峪群的沉积时限限定在1720～1600 Ma之间。本文所采集的云梦山组、白草坪组和崔庄组样品中碎屑锆石²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb年龄分别在2657～1739 Ma、2712～1780 Ma和2654～1819Ma之间,说明三个组沉积物质主要来源于古元古代地质体,部分为新太古代地质体。鲁山地区发育的新太古代—古元古代的太华杂岩,登封地区发育的新太古代登封群以及古元古代嵩山群和花岗质岩石等,均可为中—新元古代沉积岩提供物源。豫西地区汝阳群-洛峪群碎屑锆石中～2.7 Ga、～2.5 Ga、2...     

东濮凹陷北部沙河街组三段中亚段沉积环境分析

东濮凹陷北部沙三中亚段广泛发育盐岩和烃源岩,这两个看似不能共存的物质却在这里互层共生。该时期研究区沉积特征为多盐韵律与多层烃源岩互层共生、连续沉积,单个盐韵律厚度从几米到十几米,烃源岩有机质丰度高、类型好。平面上,两者在湖盆沉积沉降中心共生;垂向上,高有机质丰度、好干酪根类型与高盐度地层具有较好的对应关系。因而成为恢复古气候和古环境的重要研究对象。通过岩石学、古生物学以及Sr/Ba、B/Ga、(V+Ni+Mn)、Fe/Mn、Sr/Cu、Mg/Ca、V/(V+Ni)、稀土元素含量和氯同位素等方法对凹陷北部沙三中亚段的沉积环境进行研究。结果表明,凹陷北部沙三中亚段为深水沉积的还原环境,古盐度较高,达到半咸水-咸水沉积;微量元素和孢粉化石特征表明研究区沙三中亚段为温暖潮湿的环境。     

The Importance of the Precipitation and the Susceptibility of the Slopes for the Triggering of Landslides Along the Roads

In order to characterise the influence of the heavyrains on the observed landslides during the 1996–1997hydrological cycle, rainfall records for the last 100years are analysed from 104 stations in easternAndalusia. Regarding the amounts of rain recordedbetween October 1996 and March 1997 in the 104stations studied, 31 presented new all-time records;15 presented values that were 80–100% of thepre-1995 record; 49 stations, 80–50%; and 9stations, < 50%. A map has been devised of thesusceptibility of the materials through which thesouth-eastern Andalusian road network crosses,together with an inventory of the damage caused byinstability phenomena on banks and cuttings of theroad network during the winter of 1996–1997. Therelationships between the rainfall during the studyperiod, the damage caused to the road network and thesusceptibility of the materials affected are analysed.The results indicate that there is a clearcorrespondence between the rainfall recorded and thesusceptibility of the materials with the inventorieddamage. It is concluded that the widespread seriousdamage caused in early 1997 to the roads andsurrounding areas in the Alpujarra region and thecoast of the Province of Granada was mainly caused bythe extraordinarily heavy rains. However, considerablyless damage was observed where the susceptibility ofthe terrain is low, thus highlighting the extremeusefulness of terrain-susceptibility maps for riskprevention and territorial planning.

Unity of the national and the international in the socio-cultural development of the peoples of the USSR

International unity is becoming ever stronger in this country owing to an increasing similarity in the development of the cultural environment. This comprises the provision of all the country's republics with a sufficient number of schools, theatres, and other institutions and cultural information media in accordance with the needs of the population. An important part is played by the rise in ‘the general educational level, as well as the level of professional qualifications and skills. Among all the Soviet nations and nationalities, this rise being more rapid among formerly backward peoples. Prominent among the factors of internationalization is the progressive development of the nationalities’ cultural resources, while professional culture is being increasingly brought within the reach of the masses.The implementation of the nationalities policy promotes the all-round development of all Soviet nations and nationalities, their drawing together, the upsurge of the individual capabilities of every Soviet citizen.

Report of the restudy of the defined global stratotype of the base of the Silurian System

The Global Stratotype Section and Point （GSSP） for the base of the Silurian System was defined in 1985. Since that time, a number of researchers have suggested that this section has serious deficiencies for use as a GSSP. As a result, in 2000, the Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy （SSS） proposed undertaking a formal restu@ of this GSSP, which was subsequently approved by the International Commission of Stratigraphy （ICS）. The result of this restudy was the formal proposal that the current GSSP, at 1.6 m above the base of the Birkhill Shale, at Dob＇s Linn, Scotland, should be maintained as the same locality and stratigraphic level, but the bios- tratigraphical definition of the boundary should be revised. The previously defined, basal Silurian grapto- lite zone, the Parakidograptus acuminatus Zone, should be subdivided into a lower Akidograptus ascensus Zone and a higher E acuminatus Zone. The base of the A. ascensus Zone, marked by the first appearance of A. ascensus, should be regarded as the biostratigraphic mark for the base of the Silurian. This proposal has now been formally approved by the SSS and ICS, and ratified by International Union of Geological Sciences. This is the first GSSP to undergo formal restudy and redefini- tion, and the proposal also included a recommended procedure for restudy of GSSPs.     

Calculation of the Inverse of the Covariance

In reservoir characterization, the covariance is often used to describe the spatial correlation and variation in rock properties or the uncertainty in rock properties. The inverse of the covariance, on the other hand, is seldom discussed in geostatistics. In this paper, I show that the inverse is required for simulation and estimation of Gaussian random fields, and that it can be identified with the differential operator in regularized inverse theory. Unfortunately, because the covariance matrix for parameters in reservoir models can be extremely large, calculation of the inverse can be a problem. In this paper, I discuss four methods of calculating the inverse of the covariance, two of which are analytical, and two of which are purely numerical. By taking advantage of the assumed stationarity of the covariance, none of the methods require inversion of the full covariance matrix.     

Deviation of the major axis of the inertia ellipsoid of the Moon from the direction toward the Earth

It is known from observations that the center of mass of the Moon does not coincide with the geometric center of its figure, and the line connecting these two centers is not aligned with the direction toward the center of the Earth, instead deviating toward the Southeast. This stationary deviation of the axis of the inertia ellipsoid of the Moon to the South of the direction toward the Earth is analyzed. A system of five linear differential equations describing the physical libration of the Moon in latitude is considered, and these equations are derived using a new vector method taking into account perturbations from the Earth and partly from the Sun. The characteristic equation of this system is obtained, and all five oscillation frequencies are found. Special attention is paid to the fifth (zero) frequency, for which the solution of the latitude libration equations are stationary and represents a previously unknown additional motion of the rotational axis of theMoon in a cone with a small opening angle. In contrast to the astronomical precession of the Earth, the rotation of the angular-velocity vector is in the positive direction (counter-clockwise), with the period T ₃ = 27.32 days. On this basis, this phenomenon has been named “quasi-precession.” This quasi-precession leads to a stationary inclination of the major axis of the inertia ellipsoid of theMoon to the South (for an observer on Earth), making it possible to explain one component of the observed deviation of the center of mass of the Moon from the direction toward the Earth. The opening angle of the quasiprecession cone is approximately 0.834″.
